Abstract: To make the handling of a tire model for controlling a test run on a test bench simpler and more flexible and thus more practicable, it is provided that at least one longitudinal velocity of a tire is calculated in a first simulation unit with a first simulation model, and the longitudinal velocity is provided to a second simulation unit, and a longitudinal force and/or a rolling resistance torque of the tire are calculated with a second simulation model in the second simulation unit on the basis of the longitudinal velocity, and said longitudinal force and/or rolling resistance torque are used to calculate at least one target dyno value for a drive control unit of a load machine of the test bench.

Abstract: In order to be able to superimpose and compare measurement results from test runs in a substantially more effective, faster, and improved manner, a virtual track (A*-B*) is read from a data storage unit (4), wherein the virtual track (A*-B*) is stored as a sequence of geo-coordinates (P) and with corresponding, to the geo-coordinate (P) related data (D) of a vehicle (1*), a driver and/or surroundings of the vehicle (1*), and the virtual track (A*-B*) is used to carry out the test run of the virtual vehicle (1*), wherein measured data (M) on the virtual vehicle (1*) is detected and stored in relation to the geo-coordinate (P) during the test run.
